Teraflex 838107 Hinged Carrier Threaded Review

i recently purchased a hinged carrier threaded for my vehicle and it has proved to be an exceptional addition to my automotive journey. The installation was quick and simple taking only a few minutes, thanks to its well-crafted design. The carrier is made with top-notch materials, making it highly durable and capable of withstanding rough terrains without affecting the tire`s integrity. The only possible con is the price, as it's a bit higher than some competitors, but it's worth it for the…

Based on my observations, I found this spare tire carrier to be a complete disaster.The metal construction is flimsy and weak and seems to buckle under the weight of my spare tire. I do appreciate the threaded design which makes it much easier to install but unfortunately, that’s the only redeeming quality. It’s clear that no one took quality control seriously when manufacturing this product. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, even if it was the cheapest option available..

Please note these are not textured end caps as shown in the description. They are smooth and shiny and do not match the texture of the Teraflex Heavy Duty/Carrier Loops. I lost an original connector and wanted to replace it, but now the new connector looks out of place. I would give one star but at least the plug keeps dirt out of the hole and maybe a little textured rustoleum will make the new plug look more like the others.
